The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

"Fuck, who put an arrow in my waist?"

Hua Xiong seized the opportunity and slashed down with his saber.

clang!

"Don't hurt the rules!"

Xu Huang rushed out suddenly, and in order to meet Hua Xiong's blow, blood spurted out from his waist.

Yu Jin was taken aback, if the love of the lord would be compromised here, what's the point of his being alive?

"Protect General Xu and retreat! Retreat!"

In the end, Yu Jin reluctantly gave the order to retreat.

When Cao Cao's army disappeared from sight, Hua Xiong's burly body knelt down heavily, and all his strength dissipated.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The engagement failed.

This is a trial.

For a long time, Cao Cao had a slight fear of Liu Ke and the Yangzhou Army.

In the real battle, he has no idea.

However, he has the spirit of not admitting defeat, and it is impossible for him to surrender.

So, there was a fight.Cao Cao wants to show his ambition and tell Liu Ke that he will not give up easily, and he will come if he has the guts.

The Yangzhou army is very strong, and Cao Cao does not expect Yu Jin and Xu Huang to defeat them with equal strength.

So what about the weaker Xuzhou defenders?

The Xuzhou garrison is a local army, and it is far inferior to the Yangzhou Main Battle Corps in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness.

Therefore, Cao Cao has always had a kind of hope in his heart, that is, Yu Jin can win, no matter how tragic it is, as long as he can win.

It's a pity that the last wish was shattered.

Cao Cao selected the most elite [-] soldiers from Yanzhou's army, but they were defeated in the end.

Just in case, he also arranged Xu Huang as a backup.

Cao Cao knew Xu Huang's bravery, he could fight Ma Chao, and with Yu Jin's cooperation, it shouldn't be a big problem to win Hua Xiong, right?

"There is still a problem!" Cao Cao sighed softly, his hair turned pale again.

"My lord, now is not the time to be discouraged." Jiang Ji said lightly.

Although it was his idea to propose a fight, he didn't execute it.

The main responsibility is not on him.

Moreover, Yu Jin and Xu Huang did show the prestige of Cao Cao's army, and less than a thousand people came back intact.

With such a loss rate, his subordinates rebelled long ago.

Yu Jin took the lead and Xu Huang even fought with injuries. They have tried their best.

"Tell me, tell me, I can't even win against King Dongyang's second-line troops, how can I start a war with Yangzhou?" Cao Cao said in a daze.

"My lord, this is a field battle, so of course it's different." Jiang Ji comforted, "Instead of defending the city, one-on-one with our army is worthwhile."

Cao Cao still showed concern.

"My lord, my subordinates have studied Yangzhou's military system, which is completely different from ours. As long as they can reduce their personnel by [-] to [-] people, King Dongyang will definitely withdraw his troops."

"Is this bomb serious?"

Cao Cao immediately became interested and said, "Tell me about it!"

"That's right. Do you know Yangzhou's pension system?"

Cao Cao thought about it and nodded.

"Probably know a little bit."

"This is enough. There is only one point. Dongyang King cannot tolerate the loss of his subordinates. That is the pension. Every time a soldier dies in battle, the Yangzhou government needs to pay 500 gold as a pension. If [-] people die in battle, it means What is it? Dongyang King needs to pay [-] million gold!"

Cao Cao was taken aback immediately, he had never seen so much money in such a big age.

"No matter how rich Yangzhou is, it can't afford such expenses. Not only that, but there is also a tax exemption policy. If a soldier dies in battle, his family will be exempted from tax for three years. If only the elderly are left in the family, they will be exempted from tax for a lifetime. .”

Cao Cao calculated, if this is the case, Dongyang King may go bankrupt!

But soon his expression darkened.

"The king of Dongyang doesn't have to pay."

"My lord, is King Dongyang the kind of sloppy person?" Jiang Ji showed admiration at this point.

In terms of credibility, Liu Ke has always been respected.

"What's more, Yangzhou is rich, why would the soldiers die for the King of Dongyang? Wouldn't it be nice to enjoy it? - Not only because of the charm of the King of Dongyang, but more importantly, they have no worries, and the King of Dongyang will take care of their families. "

"Once the rules are broken, King Dongyang will be reduced to a mortal, and it will not be difficult for the Lord to win."
